CHIEF OF sTRANoLERs.



Hideous Old Thug Tries His Terrible
Arts ON \ Tourist.
Many Of the great criminals whom I
have seen bore in their faces Q terrible
warning Of what they were; but with the
Thugs OF Jahapur 1t Is not 80. These hu.
man vampires who now gather round me,
says correspondent Of the Philadeiphia
Press, every one Of whom has taken more
lives than any public executioner in
Europe, are to the outward eye q set Of
quiet, slouching, meager old men, who
might be a gang Of beggars, . group Of
harmless village folk, party Of super.
animated native workmen, or any thing
on earth but what they really are.
THAT'S the chief" whispers my guide,
pointing to a small, lean, gray.beard, with
a white turban, who is sitting before the
nearest hut, rocking child on his knee,
and stroking it's thin, little. brown face
with the hand that has shed the blood of
his fellow men like water.

The savage eagerness with which tho
withered old skeleton obeys the call-as il
filled with fresh life by even the make.be.

sure hold, he slips the moose
round my arm and then, bringing his
knuckles together with sudden twist,
gives my wrist squeezs and almost makes
the bone crack.
The awful change that passes over his
face at this moment battles all de-

ly be more appalling. The thought of that
face bending over some helpless man in
the gloomy depths of the forest, just as
the fatal moose frightened, is altogether too
much for my nerves, and it is with long
breath of relief that find myself outside
the fatal inclosure once more.
